Recently the electro-pop part has been applied slightly more due to the steady formation by Ikwillem (vocals and keyboard), Bert M. (bass) and Floris.
Main influences are the likes of The Beatles, Joy Division, Pavement and Interpol.

Johnny and the Caveman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
True as it can be
Barely even friends
Then somebody bends
Unexpectedly.
Just a little change
Small to say the least
Neither one prepared
Beauty and the Beast
Ever just the same
Ever a surprise
Ever as before
Ever just as sure
As the sun will rise
Tale as old as time
Tune as old as song
Bittersweet and strange
Finding you can change
Learning you were wrong
Certain as the sun
Rising in the east
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the Beast
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the Beast
The song "Beauty and the Beast" by Johnny and the Caveman is a timeless classic that tells the story of a love that transcends appearances and societal norms. The lyrics describe how two individuals who were barely even friends suddenly find themselves falling in love unexpectedly after someone bends. The change is small to say the least, and both parties are scared and unprepared for what is happening.
Despite the fear and uncertainty, the love between the two is ever-present, just as the sun will rise every day, ever just the same, and ever a surprise. They learn that they can change and grow as individuals, and that what they thought they knew about each other was wrong. The song captures the bittersweet and strange feeling of love and the beauty of looking beyond physical appearance and societal expectations.
Overall, "Beauty and the Beast" is a tale as old as time and a song as old as rhyme. It serves as a reminder that love can be found in unexpected places and that true love sees beyond appearances.
